TL;DR: It is shown that GI expression is regulated by the circadian clock with a peak in transcript levels 8–10 h after dawn and that CCA1 and LHY expression are reduced by gi mutations, consistent with the idea that GI plays an important role in regulating the expression of flowering time genes during the promotion of flowering by photoperiod.

TL;DR: This review focuses on recent advances in how three of the signalling pathways (the day‐length, vernalisation and autonomous pathways) function to control flowering.

TL;DR: Results indicate that an allelic rearrangement in the promoter of MYB10 has generated an autoregulation locus, and this autoreGulation is sufficient to account for the increase in MyB10 transcript levels and subsequent ectopic accumulation of anthocyanins throughout the plant.

TL;DR: It is shown that the circadian clock regulates expression of COL1 and COL2 with a peak in transcript levels around dawn, and experiments with the highest COL1 over-expressing line indicate that its circadian defects are fluence rate-dependent, suggesting an effect on a light input pathway(s).

TL;DR: The polyphenolic content of apple is raised by genetic engineering of the anthocyanin pathway using the apple transcription factor MYB10 with a view to enhancing consumer appeal independently of other fruit qualities.
